Turkey sack national team coach Montella, football federation says
The Turkish Football Federation said it will not continue with the Italian coach after four straight Nations League losses and a group-stage World Cup exit.
- On Friday, the Turkish Football Federation dismissed national team head coach Vincenzo Montella, announcing on X, "It has been decided not to continue with our head coach."
- The dismissal follows four consecutive defeats in the UEFA Nations League, including a 3-1 loss to Italy on Tuesday, and Turkey's early group-stage elimination from the 2026 World Cup despite beating the United States.
- Despite boasting elite talent including Inter Milan midfielder Hakan Calhanoglu, Real Madrid's Arda Guler, and Juventus forward Kenan Yildiz, the team's performance has deteriorated significantly in recent months.
- Turkey faces immediate pressure to appoint a successor before hosting Belgium in the Nations League on November 12 and traveling to France three days later without a head coach.
- Montella, appointed in September 2023, previously guided Turkey to the 2024 European Championship quarter-finals before results declined following a 2-1 loss to the Netherlands, marking a sharp reversal in his tenure.
